 Details
Description: Arnaud Jacques of securiteinfo.com reported an information disclosure vulnerability in CuteNews. A remote user can determine information about the target web server.

It is reported that a remote user can request a URL for the 'index.php' script in debug mode to cause CuteNews to display the typical 'phpinfo' page.

A demonstration exploit URL is provided:

http://[target]/cutenews/index.php?debug

The vendor has reportedly been notified.

Impact: A remote user can determine information about the web server and PHP environment.

Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.



The author of the report suggests that, as a workaround, you can delete the following line from your index.php file:

if($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'] == "debug"){ debug(); }
